Appearance

Standing nearly twice as tall as Usopp, Ukon is a fair skinned, lanky figure. His blonde hair is gathered into a puffy chonmage, with sideburns trailing to his jaw, set above narrow eyes, dark brows, and a sharp nose. He dresses in a grey kimono carrying a slate square motif beneath a pale green cloak whose sleeves and hem bear darker, mottled green markings. Geta with a dark strap cover his feet, and a reverse crescent moon is inked onto his ankle.

Personality

Devoted to the Kouzuki cause, Ukon was thrilled at the prospect of standing beside his comrades in battle once more, his face lighting up when the secret message reached him. His sheltered upbringing in Wano showed during the raid, when Big Mom's display of power left him slack jawed and bug eyed, yet utterly unable to name the woman he was so afraid of.

Abilities

Ukon proved tough enough to hold his own against the Beasts Pirates on Onigashima, refusing to fall even after he had been left bloodied and beaten. A pair of katana serve as his weapons of choice. Long ago he allied with the Kouzuki Family, and after hearing Kouzuki Toki foretell both Orochi's ruin and the reopening of Wano, he and the others held out for twenty years. During the Wano arc, a slip of paper slipped into his cloak as a snake oil peddler brushed past him in the Flower Capital, carrying the cryptic crescent moon signal. He took up the disguise granted at Onigashima, recoiled in terror when Big Mom blasted open the Skull Dome, and later watched Sanji fight on after Luffy was reported defeated.
